The RetroLounge Daily Poem Thread (Thu 4/13/06)
In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
petals on a wet, black bough.

Ezra Pound

6. Ah Ezra
The Bath Tub
by: Ezra Pound

As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.
